@JosephWright Ug. According to CAS I have to redo all my acta cryst citations, and look up the name of the journal each time, since they change it ALL THE TIME
Like, every 4 years
@JosephWright Opps, I put CrystEngComm in as Cryst. Eng. Comm. once.
@ShreevatsaR I did not understand the post @DavidCarlisle linked, but I found an option that easily made me type { like I'm used to. Now let's see if that's the editor I was looking for…
@Curio I told you that you should use the example from the link you provided and take care of the way \includegraphics is used there. You can't use a .mp4file with \includegraphics (at least that would be very new to me). The graphics seems to be the some background image of the video
@ChristianHupfer hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, can i have your help? Why do I take only +5 and not +10 for a vote? Sometimes the system gives me +5 other times +10, why?
Thanks in advance for the vows to my questions thanks eeeeee
@DavidCarlisle hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii from my land Sicily
@DavidCarlisle There are so many reasons why in sicily when you meet someone you estimate and respect you is a demonstration of affection of friendship

@Sebastiano notebooks do have power supply too ;-) Perhaps you should use the power strip as well from time to time instead of running out of battery all the time
@Curio I told you that I can't do more for you. I answered that the basic error is that .mp4 is no valid extension for a graphics file to be included with \includegraphics. Wherever you got that wrong code from ... I have no idea
@Moriambar emacs is immensely powerful but obviously as it's not written specifically as a tex ide it may need some customisation, I use it for tex, for c for xml, I used it as my email client for many years (although I switched to thunderbird) it can handle editing thousands of files and has a full programming language as its customisation so in the end it's a win, but if you want an editor focussed on tex functionality and obeying platform GUI conventions on the mac, then perhaps less so.
@DavidCarlisle I grew up to believe, professionally and personally, that things that do more than one thing at once are not as good as things that are dedicated to a specific task.
@DavidCarlisle well from my point of view they are similar in the sense that their "main" command (afaik about the tutorial) are about copying, pasting, etc… basically techniques that may've been useful 20years ago or could be useful in a terminal window, but I find that anacHronistic
@DavidCarlisle the difference is: my father could use emacs like a normal editor. vim… it's impossible for anyone but an expert to do that
@Moriambar I suppose it depends what you want to do, I routinely need to apply regexp replaces over thousands of files, and routinely edit shell scripts, xml, xslt, c and Fortran as part of the same project so having an editor that works for multiple languages, and can handle multiple files is a big win, also as I've used the same editor almost every day since 1987 using any editor with different keybindings is really difficult.
@DavidCarlisle I understand the multiple language: not that many editor support that. But why insisting on the multiple file? I don't know editors who don't support that
@Moriambar well as I say I don't know other editors so well, if they can easily construct lists of thousands of files and then apply editing functions over those files that's fine.
@Moriambar Can you say what difficulties you found when starting with Emacs? Is it just the initial impressions within the first few hours of using it, or something more?
@ShreevatsaR no difficulties at all (after finding out that "alt" is special for emacs, thus having to tell it not to make it special, but I had no difficulties in finding that once I understood it)
@Moriambar ah yes, it's C-; in Aquamacs (runs "toggle-mac-option-modifier"). I need to use it often, because I need both the "normal" Alt key to enter certain characters, and the "Emacs" Alt key (using Alt key as Emacs Meta) for using Emacs.
@Moriambar Sorry I shouldn't have used the word "difficulties" (and that was not what was on my mind), but more "infelicities" -- basically I got the impression that you didn't like it, and I thought it may be interesting/useful to know what it is that turns off new users.
@ShreevatsaR I did not like it because I don't think is that useful. In general because if I search for a text editor I can use anything else I like; as an IDE for LaTeX because it is not one (no autocompletion, no automatching braces, no smart spacing, no smart syntax highlighting for expl3,…), as a LaTeX editor… well TeXShop, TeXworks, even Atom I think offer nothing less, perhaps a bit more (Esp. TeXShop). Following the tutorial (cont...)
(cont'd) I picked up some commands to do some basic text manipulation that reminded me some vim guide, and that may've been useful back in the day, or may still be useful today in the terminal-shell situation, but that I feel a bit outdated, since nowadays all of the commands I use are done differently
To summarize: I don't find it useful (for my purposes). I understand that it may be useful in some applications (e.g. David's example, as I know that will be plenty), but not in mine, nor I feel it in general.
@Moriambar Yes thanks, that's useful to know. Emacs has all of those (autocompletion, automatching braces, smart spacing (whatever kind of smartness you prefer)), and I use all these features regularly. It can have syntax highlighting for expl3 too, if someone does the work for it (someone might already have).
@ShreevatsaR I tried but it did not do anything you said for expl3. So it's better using TeXworks which I managed (thanks to some post) to have expl3-friendly
TeXworks just lacks the spacing and bracing, which is annoying, but at least the code is readable
@ShreevatsaR maybe you lost the start of it all: I need something that resembles an expl3 ide. Why? Because I find it a bit painful to write readable packages with normal LaTeX tools
I do not need a LaTeX editor: in that case I don't know what can any editor other than TeXShop offer me and that I need
@egreg is it normal that typoaid with the "no-kerning" code yields alphabet lengths that are less than the "kerning" ones? (namely in sffamily and scshape)?
sounds reasonable to me but wanted to have a double check
